webfact Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 THAI rehab plan ‘ready in 2-3 weeks’, Survival Team appointed By The Nation A rehabilitation plan for Thai Airways International (THAI) will be ready in two to three weeks, but it is too early to say whether the carrier will resume international flights in August, the airline’s acting president said on Thursday (July 9). Chansin Treenuchagron was speaking after talks between THAI management and staff following the appointment of a “Survival Team” to work out a business plan for the ailing carrier. "Employees still have some concerns, such as welfare. I can assure you that I will help with everything, but we have to wait for the court to finish considering the rehabilitation plan first," said Chansin. The carrier has filed for debt rehabilitation and must submit its rehab plan at the Bankruptcy Court on August 17. The details of the plan will be announced at a press conference after the Bankruptcy Court rules on whether it will take the case, Chansin added. He said it was too early to say whether THAI will resume international flights in August, since the airline was still assessing the situation. Meanwhile, Chansin has ordered the Survival Team to draw up both urgent and short-term business plans covering the period from July 9 to October 31. The team is being led by Chai Eamsiri and consists of Suwattana Sibunruang, Capt Chawan Rattanawaraha and other 18 members of THAI departments. Chansin has also assigned two new executives to the THAI management team. Soradej Namruangsri is the new executive vice president of operations and director of the Thai Airways Flight Support Centre 904, while Non Klintha becomes acting executive vice president of Corporate Strategy and Sustainable Development. THAI employees expressed satisfaction with the appointments of the Survival Team and executives, said Chansin.

More government speak. The "Survival Team" is going to come up with a viable business plan for this ailing white elephant in just three weeks? Bye bye Thai!

Ar@%hole was the word I have preferred to use when describing someone whose almost every post contains a 'brown envelope' joke but I thought laughterbater was more restrained.

SkyFax Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I think when one repsonds to nearly every pronouncement of the the Thai officialdom -- whether deserved or not -- with ridicule then a response is not out of line. BTW you can maybe use this instead of emoji for your next posts -- on the house. Edited July 11, 2020 by SkyFax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No -- 3rd is how to get persons to buy tickets way in advance so we have something to skim especially if we then cancel the flights and hold back on the refund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyFax Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Here's my answer to the tag team: I haven't flown THAI since the 18-hour non-stop BKK to JFK RT in 2006. I realize THAI has a host of problems from the current structure and management which the new management may or may not be able to overcome. But I wish them well. And I'll just leave the 'Yeah when pigs fly' comments to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justgrazing Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Noise and showboating again .. Stuffed full of Thai names but what magic formula are they going to come up with that they have overlooked for as long as T A has been absorbing cash like a sponge even before the Aviation industry hit the hard times like they have this year .. just about every other Major Int' Airline is having to re-evaluate and reorganise by reducing fleets , shedding jobs , looking at amalgamating with other carriers .. Airbus are shedding 000's , Boeing production has been shut down in a number of plants and on it goes .. factor in the uncertainty of how long Int' passenger numbers will take to recover ( not this year and highly unlikely next year ) and T A truly have their heads buried in the sand if they think that they can suddenly turn a dead on arrival airline into a fit one ..

DrTuner Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 That rehab is like trying to get a five-laukhau-bottle-a-day somchai to become a teetotaler.
